The Space Generation Forum (SGF), at UNISPACE-III, as one of its ten formal recommendations to the conference, put forward the suggestion that the threat caused by near earth objects should be researched further. The youth perspective on this topic is being further developed at the Space Generation Summit (SGS), an event at World Space Congress (WSC) that will unite international students and young professionals to develop a youth vision and strategy for the peaceful uses of space. SGS, endorsed by the United Nations, will take place from October 11-13th, during which the 200 delegates will discuss ongoing youth space activities, particularly those stemming from the UNISPACE-III/SGF and taken forward by the Space Generation Advisory Council. Delegates will address a variety of topics with the goal of devising new recommendations according to the theme, 'Accelerating Our Pace in Space'. The material presented here and in other technical sessions throughout WSC includes the findings of these discussions. In this paper, we present the work of the SGS delegates relating to Earth-threatening asteroids and comets. An international team of young people have been working on regional projects to support projects relating to NEOs at a national and international level. This team is working to support the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) on their Action Team for the implementation of recommendations from UNISPACE III. This Action Team, looking at protection of the Earth from NEOs, has a high level of participation of COPUOS member states.
